Chinese Entertainment: Becoming a Superstar After a Breakup

Naza's planned open and honest conversation with Shen Ze was interrupted, but she still managed to extract a lot of information. After they parted ways, she felt that she had some issues, but she was mostly angry.

To be chosen out of nowhere, and then to lose the competition, is unacceptable, especially since it involves classmates I'll be seeing for at least several years.

As Shen Ze watched Nazha leave, he had a feeling that his friendship with Nazha, which had lasted for a year, was about to come to an end.

To be honest, he was a little confused. He did want to pursue Naza, but they only communicated remotely and didn't do much else. What was the reason for Naza asking this question out of the blue? It shouldn't have any impact on her. It can only be said that even a reborn person can't understand a woman's thought process.

Military training was tiring and very sunny. When Shen Ze video-chatted with Dilraba, she said he had gotten darker. As for sun protection, Shen Ze was not only worse than the girls, but he was even worse than most of the male students. He had no concept of sun protection.

I keep in touch with Reba every day, but usually it's outside the dorm at night. Otherwise, if you're chatting with your girlfriend, a bunch of people will listen and make a fuss, which is pointless. It's not like you're showing off that you have a girlfriend. There are a lot of things you can't say in front of other people.

Dilraba visited him twice, both times during his rest time. He doesn't normally get a break during military training, but he did get two half-days off.

This also shows the difference between men and women. Girls really do have preferential treatment and can take leave as long as they have a reasonable excuse. On the other hand, it's much harder for boys to take leave.

Nearly a month of military training, eating and training together every day, is also a way to get closer to everyone. Whether male or female, we are all familiar with each other and know that we will be classmates for the next few years.

Of course, when men and women are together, attraction between the sexes is inevitable. It's easy to imagine that various emotional entanglements will be unavoidable during the next few years of their school life.

However, nowadays, daily training can exhaust people's physical strength. Military training is no exception, and there is no chance for everyone to have more interaction, such as singing songs together. There are also room checks every night.

The past month has been fairly comfortable, but there have been some minor flaws. I hope Gulnazar won't cause any trouble.

He always thought she was joking when she said that. After that day, they still saw each other every day and he didn't notice anything. But in the first week, she took the initiative to find him. He thought it was a good thing, that they were still friends, but it was a bit of a surprise.

"How's your blanket folded? We were checked in the dorms, and we really don't know how to fold it into a perfect square. It's all loose and without any sharp edges. I haven't dared to cover myself with the blanket for several days. I just leave it there after folding it because it's a bit cold," Gulinaza asked him.

"I'm fine."

"Among my classmates, I've known you the longest, so there are some things I can only ask you for help with. Could you teach me how to fold a blanket later?" Gulinaza said.

"Sure, we're friends, right? You should go back now, your instructor is looking for you." It was good that they said a few unnecessary things; they couldn't keep making it awkward.

But I soon realized something was wrong. You guys started standing at attention. If you're not going back, what are you doing next to me?

"Gulnazar, Shen Ze, what are you doing? Can't you hear me? Return to your positions!" The female instructor's voice rang out, and the girls were to stand at attention.

"Reporting to the instructor, Shen Ze's room is very well organized. I'm asking him for advice on how to organize my room and how to fold the blankets," Gulinaza said in a particularly loud voice.

"Me, you." Shen Ze looked at Gulinaza, who was standing straight with her eyes fixed straight ahead, and wanted to curse. Was she doing it on purpose, or was she just being honest? She had indeed asked for advice, but was that what his response meant?

"Shen Ze, step forward, tidy up your personal belongings, and fold the blankets." Shen Ze glanced at Gulinaza, who was expressionless. However, Shen Ze did not know that Gulinaza was secretly overjoyed.

She heard from the boys that checking room tidiness every night is the most troublesome thing, and she'll see if she doesn't clean up after them.

Shen Ze was internally fuming, but he still had to do what he had to do. He barely managed to pass the test, but it was indeed a little embarrassing to do a barely passable assignment in front of so many people.

"Shen Ze, I'm sorry, I'm most afraid of teachers and instructors. I let it slip as soon as they asked me." During the break, she even bought Shen Ze a bottle of water.

"It's alright," Shen Ze said. He still preferred to think positively of people; what the other person was saying was indeed the truth—it was just that he wasn't that outstanding.

The second week.

"Reporting, instructor, I'm learning military boxing from Shen Ze. His military boxing is better than mine, so I'm learning from him. I didn't hear the roll call."

"Shen Ze, step forward."

Then came a complete military boxing performance, which was praised. Even though he had made a mistake, he naturally had to perform to uphold the instructor's authority.

When everyone practices this, it doesn't matter whether it's good or bad. But when a group of people watch one person practice, it can be a bit of a nuisance for the person being watched.

"You did this on purpose, didn't you?" That very evening, Shen Ze found Gulnazar.

"What do you mean, intentionally?" Gulnazar feigned ignorance.

"Last time you said you were tidying up your room, I took it as an overreaction. Today I told you to take roll call, and you deliberately dawdled. What do you mean by that?" Shen Ze said to Gulinaza downstairs in the girls' dormitory.

This happened again today. The woman pretended to be innocent, but he's not stupid. This time, she can't exactly say it was unintentional, can she?

"What do you mean, Shen Ze? What do you want to say? Hello, Instructor." Gulinaza suddenly smiled. Shen Ze hadn't figured out why she was smiling. The words "Hello, Instructor" made him jump.

Looking back, he saw the female instructor holding a flashlight, followed by several female students. This was, of course, a scheme by Gulnazar. Shen Ze had told her earlier that they would meet in the evening, and she had chosen to come out during roll call time, since the boys' and girls' roll call times were different. Shen Ze had been tricked again.

"What are you doing?"

"Reporting to the instructor, Shen Ze said he needed to talk to me, but I was worried it was something urgent and didn't have time to report it to you."

"Shen Ze, what are you trying to say?"

"Reporting, Instructor, I want to teach her military boxing, to practice it in real combat." Shen Ze gritted his teeth.

"You're very confident in your military boxing skills. Next Friday, there's a military boxing competition. You'll represent the boys. Are you confident?" the female instructor said.

"I'm confident, Instructor. I'm applying for Gulnazar to be our class's female representative." This isn't about showing off. You could say singing or something artistic, but they've only just started learning military boxing and are only half-baked. But he knows he can't change that, so he'll drag others down with him.

I will consider this matter.

The female instructor left with Gen. Gulinaza turned back one last time, no longer pretending, and glared fiercely at Shen Ze. "You petty man, you made fun of me first, and you didn't even embarrass yourself that much, yet you dragged me into it. This is not going to end here."

"Reporting to the instructor, Shen Ze's room is not tidy." Another week has passed, and Gulinaza somehow became the room inspector. She didn't check anyone else, but came specifically to check Shen Ze's bed.

"Shen Ze, step forward and tidy up the internal affairs."

Okay, a good man doesn't argue with a woman, what's the big deal?
